RE: OT - History Lesson

I think you wear helmets and leathers for motorcycle rides.
Horses can swell up their bellies - I think they hold their breath or
something - so that when they let it out the girth is not so tight. More
comfy for the horse but then of course, as you experienced, the rider ends
up on the ground.

Who wears a helmet when they ride horses, besides athletes? (polo
players, jumpers, and rodeo stars, etc) And riding leathers? It was a
casual horseback ride and jeans were the uniform of the 70s anyway.

David, that reminds me of my college days. A friend of mine's family had a
stable and boarded horses. Len was quite an accomplished rider and I got a
bit better over time as we rode. His property was a mix of open land and
woods and steep ravines. He always saddled up the horses for us. On one of
our rides we stopped for a few minutes to chat. Slowly I began to list.
It all seemed like slow motion but it must have been quickly as Len didn't
have time to get to me. And I didn't feel capable of stopping it. The
saddle just spun on the horse and there I was on the ground in a heap. Len
must have tightened the saddle well enough at the beginning or I'd have
fallen off sooner; it must have somehow come loose. I'm glad it happened
while we were standing still!
Another time I was visiting a boyfriend who'd moved to Dubuque with his
family. We went riding on some little motorbike - not a full sized
motorcycle. I was on the back and didn't want to crowd him (not on the bike
anyway) As he sped up a hill, I fell off the back of the bike - and NOT on
my keester. Ouch!
